Tia, Rhys' eyes have always gone back to normal within about six hours :cool:
The HV was nice. A bit mad crazy hippie-ish, long flowing top and bright purple trousers, with magnetic glasses that break in two at the bridge of her nose! Thinks I've been very tolerant of the physio and said she just wouldn't have let her in the house. She (the physio) is seeing Rhys and mum on Tuesday then Rhys and me the following Tuesday so we'll see what she's like then. Can't remember if I mentioned but she was like a completely different person when she saw my mum the other week, so I think she's just got issues with me/my age :cool:
Didn't go out tonight
We've had screaming fits and meltdowns from Rhys all afternoon/evening. Teeth I reckon, lots of cheek rubbing and ear pulling going on. He actually willingly opened his mouth for Bonjela and Calpol tonight - just like his Daddy, won't take meds willingly unless he really needs them :cool: He's still eating okay (once his gums are numb!) and happily had a pancake as a snack, his tea and then a slice of garlic bread from our tea too!
We went to Ikea yesterday to get steps for my friend's son to use for toilet training. We got Rhys one too for practising stepping up since we don't have stairs and he's been lifting his little legs up like a pro and stepping up, then standing on this step, arms in the air, looking all victorious :rotfl:
He's currently sparko on Daddy so I'm enjoying a Magnum. Have the urge to shop but don't actually *need* anything! Might just do the food shop online!

hi elle,

sorry you didn't get to go out, but at least you are enjoying a magnum
yay for the stairs, and the victorious stance .. too cute ...0 -
Quick question, Chris had an eye test yesterday at 9.20am, he had eye drops to dilate his pupils. Tonight before bed, one eye was still dilated. I thought they were back to normal after a few hours? Anyone know?
Mine, my mums and my sisters went back after a few hours.
Sorry Fattybooboo, no idea how long a tooth takes to come through but someone on here must know!

Thankyou AF
How are you doing? How's LO? How about the job hunt? (or are we not talking about work since it's the weekend?
).
Jenny, I'd love to be the one to tell FBB how long it takes a tooth to come through but sadly we STILL have none here
Must be a record by now, surely

Erin's haven't come through even though they have been visible and gums apparently swollen since she was born. Who needs teeth anyway!

I don't think Amber has teeth, can't see anything below those gums. See if I listened to the old 'can't wean till they get a tooth' story, she'd have faded away to a shadow by now!
I'm off to watch teh rest of the universe before bed. I like documentaries, they relax me. Night all!0 -

Morning ladies! I'm really going now, I promise, but I saw this article about parenting kids with ADHD and autism and thought it might be interesting? It also has some interesting thoughts in the comments, hopefully there'll be more as the day goes on
